I was driving south on 294 from O'Hare. I saw billboard which said the following: "The University of Illinois. Prestige without the Pretense". It is good to be envied!!

How about "Pretense without the Prestige"?

"We're so prestigious, we need to advertise on billboards."

"We're so prestigious, we need to advertise on billboards."

My favorite line in the movie "Risky Business" is when the suburban Chicago high school kid played by Tom Cruise thinks he's blown his chance to get into Princeton -- he looks into the camera and with a great '****-it' grin says, "looks like University of Illinois!" I remember the entire theater bursting out laughing at that when we saw it, when the movie was first out, way back when.
